IN MEMORY OF LEE J. PERRY. Lee Perry, son of James E. and Fannie C. Perry, died on December 30th, 1922. Those of his family that are still upon earth are Mr. Nunia A. Perry, Miss Sallie Perry, Mr. Os tia Perry, Mrs. A. A. Self, Miss Ora Perry, and Mr. A. Carl Perry. Lee Perry was a member of one of the leading families of Chatham. His life and conduct was an expres sion of his home life. He loved and feared God, and lived in peace with all men. Yet his life was not peculiai to the other members of his fam ily. They all are righteous men, and holy women. His family loved him with a worshipful devotion, his neigh bors honored him as one that walked and lived with God. His life was pure, his walk upright, his faith in Christ was ever in eveidence. The church and county have lost another good man. Brother Perry joined Browns Chap el Methodist church when he was be tween nine and ten years of age. He loved the body of Christ, and gave freely himself and his for her devel opment and glory. In this faith and love he died. No man could see and know the heart of his home, without knowing that Christ was its foundation, and that the builders were parents that built for eternity, and left the world a priceless gift of life, that has en riched mankind. If all men everywhere were to live as Lee Perry lived, there would be no more wars, and strife, and hatred which the world is passing through today. May God bless his memory to the good of his community, and for the fertilization if our church. May God bless the home and the inmates of the same. J. J. BOONE, Pastor.

The following contribution has been sent the paper from Chapel Hill, and we gladly publish it: A. M. Bowden passed away at his home at Carrboro on November 14, 1922; aged 76 years, 4 months and 3 days old. He was a native of Chatham coun ty. The burial took place at Manns Chapel, of which he was a member. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. W. Autry, of Carrboro, Rev. H. G. Dorsett, of Chapel Hill and Rev. J. R. Edwards, of Bynum. Surviving are his widow and ten children, as follows: J. D. Bowden and Mrs. W. E. Han cock, of Chatham; H. A. Bowden and Kemp Bowden, of Orange county; Luther Bowden, of Grensboro; Bun Bowden, of High Point; Mrs. Gurney Ray, Mrs. Lessie McDonald and Mrs. Frank Durham, of Carrboro, and W. M. Bowden, of Marmath, North Da kota. Mr. Bowden was a man of splen did attainments and numbered his friends by the score. His influence will be lasting as the years go by, and even until the end of time. His death was caused by paralysis, having two strokes and rallying each time —his strong constitution and res olute disposition kept him living and he suffered for many months with Christian patience and came down to the end with that same simple faith that he had cultivated in Christ, and passed away as if asleep, as only , those who oajoy benefit, of the love of God. The writer has known Mr. Bowden for 40 years and realized on his first acquaintance that he was a man r of strong influence, of keen intellect ’ and firm in his convictions. He was ; ever ready at all times, day or night i to render his service to home and - loved ones. A FRIEND. PROWERS AND CHEEKS TRAVEL. Letter Tells of Tour and The pleas j:. ; ures of Sunny South. Weekly Herald, Siler City, Jan. 17. 'ffce Herald is in receipt of a let ter;; from Carl L. Brower and John C. Cheek, who are accompanied by their fajhilies on a tour to Florida. In part ; ther: letter, dated on the 12th day of January, says: j 1 "Promptly at one o’clock on the J eventing of the 9th, the families of J. ! C, Cheek and C. L. Brower rolled out P&Ber City for Miami, Fla., and ev- Wpi ace mentioned herein, sandwich ed in between. We only had a small 1 load: — baggage and passengers amounting to approximately three tone, all of which was neatly packed km >a “baby Lincoln” sedan. Qpr package consisted chiefly of frivolous toilet articles and dress ac cessories which are used chiefly with such articles as skillet lid, and high brown coffee pots and such that go to make a living along side the road the life it is rightly described as “tei&ing tonight by the old motor car.’ The tent was a dream to be told later. We first traversed through Chat ham county, passing through all the principal towns, such as “Frog Level,” “Wells,” Harpers X Roads, Glendon, Putnam, Biscoe and thence direct to Charlotte, arriving there at 7:30 p. m. Spending the night at Stonewall hotel. On the morning of the 10th, at about 8:30, we started again on our road, driving about 25 miles an hour, then, stopped and built a camp fire, and breakfast came with a rush, also the appetites. After packing up we soon left Gastonia, Blacksburg, Gaff ney, Cowpens, Grover, (there we left messages for Rev. W; O. Johnson, former pastor at Siler First Baptist church) Spartanburg, Greenville, An derson, to read past history and to drive on to the old historic city of Athens, Ga., where we spent our sec ond night. Here we spent the night at Bray Brothers camp grounds, but not Cad and Nick. The city we found to be billy. However, a pretty plan and very handsome buildings showing it to be a great educational center. Several of most prominent and: best Hg&eges being located here—at this ing a nail in Baby Lincolns right front foot, but was soon pulled out, “foot-patched” and a regular speed re sumed. We left Athens byway of Madison Macon, Perry, Hawkinsville. Between Perry and Hawkinsville, we passed a limestone quarry which was in op eration, preparing limestone for agri cultural purposes. About three miles out from Hawkinsville we drove about 100 yards back from the high way into an oak and pine woods, with clear river rolling at the foot of the hill; on top of the hill we pitched our tent and camp supper was cooked which was highly spiced with snap beans, sweet pepper, celery and new cabbage. Talk about hungry folks, we were all ravenous. It makes one get in debt to their appetites to drive for half a day and see new, nice gar dens, fairly brimming with good vegetables, tickles your eyes to see such. For miles we passed a country which was checked on each side with peach orchards, some cotton and to bacco also was in evidence —all these things were growing in black, sandy loam soil. After leaving camp this Friday morning, we passed through Abbeville, Fitzgerald, Douglass, then to Axsom, where we got sugar, cane syrup and some cane to chew, so tonight we are all chewing. Then a long drive through the sticks to Waycross, Ga., a beautiful city and plenty of friend ly, sociable people. We left there on a fine hard road for the Florida line; it was straight and level as a floor for 55 miles, then on to a toll bridge over the St. Mary’s river which is the line between Georgia and Florida. We are now camping 26 miles out from Jacksonville. It is warm and a good balmy breeze, is fanning our faces. The owner of our camp ground to night is a Tar Heel, from near Lum iberton, who brings us collards, sweet ! potatoes, syrup and a bale of hay. Good-bye for this time. We have a bunch of pecans to crack and eat and then the sand man will be throwing sand through the palmettos and some will surely get into our eyes. Will write you again next week to ' tell you some fish stories. DEATH OF H. H. POE, AGE 77.

NEW RAILROAD BEING BUILT. General New s ~7tem^ Frolll J Moncure of Interest to Our Readers. Moncure, J an _ 15.— This vicinity is on a boom. The Phoenix Utility Com pany proposes to spend one , t , wo million dollars within the next twelve months in the construction of a large steam plant to Generate electricity for the Carolina Light and Power Com pany. The plant is to be located be twen the Seaboard and Norfolk Southern Railroad on the Bnckhaven road. A railroad ’is under way con necting the two railroads. . At present the Company is build ing houses and mess halls for about two hundred workmen. They are al so surfacing the dirt road from the proposed plant sight to the state high way. The state is running a dozen or more teams, reconstructing and sur facing the highway from Bnckhaven road to Moncure. The Phoeniz Utility Co., is a large construction Company, well organized and build anything from a shanty to a tabernacle.'They have six or seven large operations similiar to this one now under construction, in various P a rts of the country. To furnish some idea as to the size of this plant near Brickhaven, we are informed that the engines will consume eighteen hundred tons of coal per day when in operation. They seem to be the center of most of the activities. All available space has been taken" by their employees and many are turned away at pres ent for lack of room. About fifty of the men occupy the old school building. Judging from the amount us freight and equipment rapidly pouring into Moncure for them, they are, planning to do big things. We are sorry to note that Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Self have an attack of the flu, which is holding them out of school for a few days. Mr. Savers, a brother of Mrs. Catchell, is supplying for Mr. Self and Miss Mary Utley is supplying for Mrs. Self as teachers. Miss Connelle Cain, the music teacher, and several others in town also have the flu. Mr. Umstead, a brother of the pri mary teacher, Miss Reda Umstead, visited school one day last week. The students of Moncure school are enjoying the play grounds that have been constructed, such as see-saws, volley ball and basket ball courts. PITTSBORO HIGH SCHOQL NEWS. (Miss E. E. Taylor, Editor.)

The Prodigal son from a life of sin, Returns to his home and is welcomed in, ... A banquet is spread and there is joy, To greet the return of the prodigal boy. But the prodigal daughter, is it the same, When lured by men to a life of shame She asked forgiveness and a share of love, That none will give but the Father above ? The double standard for morals is wrong, Condemning the weak and protecting the strong, The daughter should receive as well as the son, Atonement craved for the wrong she has done. Jesus said to the woman brought to Him, Let him cast the first stone that is , free from sin, Their conscience was stirred and they turned away, - Then the woman heard the Savior say, > Thy sins are forgiven, go sin no more, Opportunity given her name to re i store. Then let us have charity for the way ward one, The daughter as well as the prodigal son, , , Her sins are no greater, she s as wor thy as he, , To share of our love and sympathy. New Hill, N.
